The aim of this seminar is to provide students with the skills they require to be able to conduct
data analysis with Stata. The topics covered include: introduction to Stata, do-files and log-files,
2
data cleaning, variable construction, loops, macros, producing tables and graphs, automated
output, presenting tables and output, statistical tests of association and factor analysis and
indexes. While no prior knowledge is required, it is recommended that students have
completed “Modul 4 / SOZ-BA-F1 Statistik: Einführung in die Statistik”. Students who already
have a basic understanding of Stata will be able to refresh what they know and practice more
advanced programming. One of the aims of the seminar is for students to produce a detailed
do-file with comments, syntax and explanations for future use und reference (for example
when preparing their own data for other projects such as a Bachelor thesis). Time will be made
available for questions and discussion. Depending on student’s wishes, more advanced
programming and commands can also be covered.
